Detox

This guide is designed for a Table to spend time in prayer for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. You can opt to create your own prayer meeting or do a Discovery Bible Study on a passage of your choice. Tables are encouraged to attend our in-person prayer meetings together as well as Forge, our 24-hour prayer gathering on January 30-31. table.org/forge

‍

Table Talk 

• What’s the good part of being snowed in for you? 
• Checking in: Share anything meaningful from your time with God during our 21 Days thus far. 
• Spend time in worship through song. Recommended: Great Are You Lord by All Sons & Daughters.  

‍

Praying 

• Make sure everyone has a Bible (preferably physical), pen, and a journal/paper. 
• You can put on soft instrumental music in the background during prayer time. Recommended artist: Soaking in His Presence (available on YouTube or streaming services) 
• This week’s time in prayer will focus on the gift of our bodies that God has made in His image, using the P.R.A.Y. format (Pause, Rejoice, Ask, Yield). 

‍

Pause

• Rest in silence for a minute, recognizing God’s presence among us. 
• Have someone read Psalm 139:1-14
• Journal a prayer inspired by this Scripture for a Breath Prayer that connects your inhale/exhale with a line of the Scripture.

Examples
‍Inhale: Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Exhale: You are always with me.
Inhale: Father, I praise You.
Exhale: I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

‍

Rejoice. Take turns praying aloud as you feel led on the following prompts. 

• Thank God for the amazing ways He has designed us in His image. 
• Thank God for the ways you see Him at work within your group and the Table Church. 
• Thank God for how you see His beauty in creation. 

‍

Ask. 

• Take turns asking God to meet the needs of those in material poverty in our community. 
• Take turns praying over anyone who may need healing, physical or otherwise. 

‍

Yield. Spend 5-8 minutes reflecting/journaling on these prompts individually, asking God to guide you. Afterwards, share what God is highlighting to you. 

• Read Romans 12:1-2
• In what ways do my life habits worship God? Where do I need to make adjustments? 
• In what ways is God prompting me to care for my body?
• Where could I make space to delight in the good gifts He gives me?
